Subway Tales: Sam-E

There was a teenager on the E train this morning that was doing almost the same exact thing as the crazy woman I wrote about in Ensemble Cast. He was just pacing back and forth between the two poles and sometimes the doors. He would stop momentarily to mumble something and was smiling the whole time.

I named this character Sam-E after a kid in junior high school, Sammy. This kid on the train looked just like Sammy... same type of clothing and same goofy look. The kid I knew from junior high was a stereotypical nerd right down to the voice and he was constantly bullied by sisters Devi & Sharon. The "E" part is just because I saw him on the E train.
